...Tigers traveled to Easton, Pa. and took down last year’s Patriot League champion—and preseason second-place pick—Lafayette 23-21. With just one experienced skill position returning on offense, Princeton scraped together points by relying on the steady foot of kicker Derek Javarone and its gritty defense, which chipped in a valuable six when All-Ivy cornerback Jay McCareins took an interception 75 yards to the house...
Coach Teevens took over a Big Green squad that had won just one game last season, possessed little talent at the skill positions aside from quarterback Charlie Rittgers, and faced one of the toughest non-conference slates of any Ivy team...

With Lehigh, Penn, Brown, and Harvard highlighting the second half of the schedule, Yale will be lucky to break .500 this season. The Bulldogs will likely finish with...

Some seasons, however, one of the two squads will get tripped up, despite the talent disparity, and drop some winnable games. But it’s exceedingly rare—the 1999 season comes to mind—for both of the league’s giants...
